Colors on your shirt will fade by washing. It’s easy to make it vivid again on the photo by increasing its saturation level using a photo editing program. This trick work on most clothes and similar materials. Most photo retouching software has the tools to let you select certain area and adjust its saturation level.

Saturation level controls the colorfulness of the color relative to its own brightness. Increasing the saturation level will make it more vivid, whereas lowering it will make it become a gray-scale image.
